My first Inkheart fic please, I apologize for my mistakes; I usually write in Spanish but please review.

Mortimer was death. He was lying in the floor. With his eyes closed, bloody clothes and skin cold as ice. A small group was surrounding him. Meggie drop uncountable tears over his body and Elenor was still in shock. Other people were around him crying their hero's death. They comfort each other and slowly went away.

Resa left the body alone in the cave as soon as his heart stopped, for her that was no longer her dear husband. She left the cave and move to the one next to this one.

Dustfinger was in a corner watching the scene. Mo was death. He was sad, he truly cared for him but what really broke his heart was watching Resa, his beautiful Resa crying over the corp. He knew their love was impossible, but he also had noticed the secret smiles Resa gave to him when she think Mo wasn't looking.

He followed Resa to the other cave and started comforting her, but before he finished Resa run towards him and hug him. Dustfinger said nothing and just hug her back. In a minute he understood that she would never love him back and he could no longer live watching her kiss Mo and watching Meggie and imagining she was his daughter. When Resa tried to step back, he raised her head and gave her a slow sweet good-bye kiss.

Then he get back on the other room and without a word he hug Farid and Meggie. He said good-bye to his family and entered the woods. There, the death was carrying Mortimers“s soul. Dustfinger approached and proposed her a deal. One soul for the other.

-Are you sure?-asked the death

-I am slowly dying already. Death can“t be worse than this- He said as he took his last breath and closed his eyes.

Then in a dark cave, Mortimer opened his eyes again.
